SCOTT PERRY TAKES A HIGH DIVE
AND OTHER
WHICH IS
WHEN n pitcher starts mliiliiiB down the skids, he never
takes the Hllpprry journey nil by his lonesome. Before
he gcta well under way eight oilier players on tils side de
cide to partake of the hokum sport and all strike bottom
simultaneously with thut well-known and often-mentioned
dull and sickening thud.
Therefore, we have ft swell alibi for the trimming
banded to the Athletics by Washington yesterday. Needles3
to sav, Oriff's athletes had the better team, played better
baseball, had better pitching, did better bitting and de
served to win, but we will use the alibi just the same.
Alibis are made to be used, anyway, so here goes.
Scott Perry. Connie's pitching ace, got his cards
mixed in the fourth inning and then had every appearance
of a two -spot. Before that time the huge hurler was
showing everything but control and curves, thus indicat
ing he was preparing for the high dive, to say nothing of
the furious flop. At times he could not get the ball over
the plate. The opposing batters saw it first and slammed
it indiscriminately. Scott also formed a pedestrian club,
electing several Washlngtonlans to membership with free
walks. That gave one the imprcMion that the tall twirler
would take an early shower, and the dope ran true to
form.
Thnt terrible fourth inning is worth repeating. The
gentlemen working for Clark Griffith and Hilly Uichard
son took n sudden dislike to the baseballs hurled at them
by Mr. Pcrr, after lied Shannon and Jim O'Neill had
joined the Perry Walking Association. This di-dlke was
very apparent even to Frank Mackin. of brown derby
fame, nnd Harry Tighe, one of our prominent actors, who
sat in the upper pavilion wondering what it was all about.
The visiting athleto refused to allow the baseball to
let anywhere near them nnd tried to knock it ns far
Sway'us possible. They were very rough in their treat
ment of the innocent sphere, but it took lots of punish
ment. The batters socked It high and far, most of the
balls sailing into barren territory not densely populated by
local outfielders.
nllFOlW the Quests were halted, ten v.ipert
D i waiters faced the hard-te arising pitcher, five
runs trickled over the pan and the b'asehall teas
knorkrd cock-eyed. Aha the ball game Mr. Hich
ardson and family chortled icith glee.
Scltacht Makes Hit With Boss
THIS was the first time Hilly Uichardson saw his ball
club in action on the local lot. He gazed upou a nice
cluster of players, learned Walter Johnson was not u
shortstop, and applauded when the boys put the kibosh on
the A's in the fourth and also put the game on ice.
Ho had a chance to take a look at Al Schacht in action.
snd Al proved to be a perfect pitcher. This bird was cap
tured in Jersey City last season because anybody living
In Jersey City always is willing, eager and amicus to be
captured if it means n change of residence. Therefore.
Al submitted without a struggle, became well acquainted
with Nick Altrock and surprised everybody in the spring
training camp in Tampa, FJa., when he threw the ball
with his right arm Altrock still is wondering how it
happened.

Phila. Cricket, Minus Two Stars,
Leaves Only H. V. C. C. With
Chance Against Champions
By ANDY McNIBUCK
Play for the women's golf club cham
pionship of Philadelphia, as represent
ed in the winner of the Philadelphia
Team Cup. starts today.
'Morion Cricket Club, present cham
pion, captained by Mrs. Ronald H.
Barlow individual champion of this
city, is the favorite once more. j
Merlon plays Philmont today at i
Philmnut and should easily prove the r
winner. Last year when all the divots
were replaced and the count chalked
down, it was found thut Morion had
only won 7-0.
The nearest rinl to Merion lust year
was the Philadelphia Cricket Club,
which went without defeat down to the
match against Merion which ended
4-3, in favor of the Havcrfordinns.
Philadelphia Cricket Club had two
such stars ns Mrs. C. H. Vanderheck,
ex-national cliampiou. and Miss Mildred
Caverly, ex-natioual finalist, to lead
off last ear, hut both these extorts ltre
promenading the deck of the good ship
Baltic todn. far at sou on their way
to compete for the Ladies' Chumpion
Mn of Croat Britain. Their loss
will be serious to the Cricket Club audi
uraooth i-onsiderablj the path of Merion. .

It was said by the secretary of the '
Women's Golf Association today that
it is contrary to ethics to announce the
teams before the actual plaj, and there- ,
fore the Cricket Club players who are
to lead off for that team must remain

Just the same, Schacht made a big hit with the vice
president of the club nnd also with President Griffith.
The president, however, had an idea Al would make
good, but Vice President Richardson had to be shown.
Now Schacht cau go to Wchardson's office nnd get n bale
of hay or a sack of oats nny time he needs them.
Wnshington presented a pretty good ball club lo the
home folks. Hobby Koth rounds out the outfield beauti
fully, making it one of the neediest and most aggressive
outfits in the league. Ulce and Zeb Milan are good
hitters nnd cover lots of ground nnd do some clever work.
Joe Judge is the only veteran in the Infield, but before
passing him up let's spill a few words In his behnlf. Joe is
one of the best first basemen in the lengue. and there arc
several who class as stars. Joe isn't flashy, but is out
there every day playing great baseball, getting his share of
hits and putting over some swell fielding stunts. He
never has been given credit for his good work, so we might
as well start handing it to htm now.
Stan Harris is on second. He is a new man and seems
to be getting by all right. Jim O'Neill, at short, also is a
recent acquisition and fields and hits welt. He gives one
the impression that he has a bum arm, but he gets the
ball to first ahead of the runner although it seems he takes
a wind-up. Hed Shannon, once with the A's. Is at third
base nnd yesterday played a great game.
THE three vcie men in the infield icorktd smoothly
and look like fixtures. This should please Presi
dent Griffith and Vice President Richardson.
Murray to Weigh 110 Pounds
JOHNNY nUKNS. manager of Battling Murray, stepped
into the office this morning to get a load off his chest.
He carried It all the way from Kensington, and exploded
as follows:
"I have been reading about this bout between Wilde
nnd Murray and I want to know where you get that stuff
about Wilde giving .a way nine or ten pounds to my battler.
That'B all bunk. Murray isn't a heavyweight or
nnything like that. He is not even a bantam. He weighed
for me this morning and what do you suppose he weighed?
Olvc It up? Well, he tipped the beam at 110 pounds, and
what do you think of that?
"I also had him down to 107 pounds and he was
strong. Don't you believe it? Well, wait nnd see. That
kid will surprise you.
"He has been training in the mountains in Kensing
ton, taking lots of road work, nnd there has been no
cheating. Joe Ilorrell, ex-champion middleweight, travels
with him and Murray can't do anything but work because
Joe speaks his language fluently. He is in great shape,
honest he is.'"
TJEnUAX TAYLOIi put up a certified check for
$1000 -yesterday, ichich ts Jimmy Wilde's fee
for appearing in the eight-round bout in Camden.
Xow the only thing Jimmy has to do is report at
theArmory, meet Battling Hurray and collect the
dough.

SCHOOLBOYS NEED
PLAYING FIELDS
League Games Postponed When
Grounds Are Not
Available
Much to the disappointment of scho
lastic fans the came between Oerman
town High and Wet Philadelphia Hlch
ssoliool yesterday was. called on, the
reason assigned "no playing field."
Lack of suitable grounds for games has
been one of the big handicaps to the
successful operation of the league, ana
the West Philadelphia and Germantown
boys have experienced just what South
ern High. Frankford and numerous
other echnols have gone through in
years pant.
West Philadelphia High has nrranged
to play some of the home games at the
KlngsoHsing plaj grounds, but cannot
secure the field at Forty-ninth and
Chester avenue for postponed games.
Owing to the rain tin: early part of
this month 'there are many contests on
the schedule which must be plued off,
provldiug a field can lie secured. Tomorrow-
West Phillies nnd Frankford
play on the Kingsesslng grounds.

Phillies were hopeful of winning this
match and the rooterH w-oro out en

largest crowds that has attended a
tennis match. Reports had previously
reached the Quakers that the West
Phillies were after them for fair and
they were prepared.

By ROHEUT W. .MAXWELL,
William Illchardson, the new owner
of the Washington Hnsebal! Club,
opened the interviewing season today at
noon in his offices, at the Bourse. He
gathered around him the baseball scribes
of Philadelphia and the Capital City.
There was much merriment, food and
everything for the boys and a pleasant
time was had up to the time the pqrty
left for the ball game nt Shibe Park,
the second contest between the Athletics
and the Senators.
Connie Mack, after hnving had Scott
Perry pummeled into a helpless heap
yesterday, decided that he would try
either Naylor or Kinney to do the toss
lug this afternoon. Yesterday Perry
was not in shape, but unfortunately.
(Vnnln did not find this out until the
Wushinclon sluggers had fattened their
butting averages to an alarming extent.
But that is history. Connie is looking
forward not backward. He believes
that either N'uylor or Kinney will be
able to check the one-gnme rush of the
visitors. Both of these young hurlers
ure in good conditions and have been
showing a lot of stuff during the warm
ing up process every day before the
game at Shibe Park.
Clark Griffith said this morning that
ho would send Shnw to the mound in
all probability, but that if he didn't
show enough before the game ho would
send Krtekson in. Walter Johnson was
to have twirled yestorda) bin he has
been ill for several days, and it t- 1-uibt-ful
if lie will be used in un of the games
against the Athletics. Of course, tbe
Athletic are nwfully sore about this.
Connie Mack suid today thut he was
very much pleused' with the work of
Miortfielder McC'ann. "He looks like
the real thing," said Connie: "of course
oti can't always tell right ofT the bat,
but he handles himself well in the field
nnd stands up at the plate like a base
ball iilnjer. not like a back lot hitter.
He is only eighteen years old and has a lot
,n !..
but if i urn not mistaken he
,ibe able to do justice to a tug league jou.!

Stages Practice for Olympics
and Is Already Picked
to Win
Antwerp, April 20. America's
hockey team, which is entered in the
first big events of the Olympic games
to be held this spring and summer, ar
rived yesterday, none the worse for a
few dilys of rather rough weather. Last
night the team entered into iU first
practice at the Antwerp Ice Palace.
Canadian hockey players were on the
side ltnss watching the practice, and
expressed the opinion the Americans
would be strong contenders for the
bockcy title. It is planned to put
the American team through doily
practice until the opening game, which
will be played Friday evening. Draw
ings for the first pairings will be held
Thursday afternoon, and the Americans
are hoping to meet the Canadians early
in the series.
Both the American hockey players
nnd individual skaters pronounced the
ice in the rink excellent last night.
There arc seating accommodations for
only 800 spectators and the rink will be
crowded to capacity. American nrmy
officers stationed at the Antwerp base
and casuals from the army or occupa
tion ure clamoring for n chance to root
for the Americans, while the Canadians
will bo bficjtcd by the British army con
tingent. The Americans were met on their ar
rival nt the dock by the Belgian com
mittee. All the teams entered for com
petition are now here, with the excep
tion of the French, who are only n few
hours away and ore training steadily
In Paris. The American individual
skntcrs will be called upon to face the
best and most experienced Swedish,
Norwegian and Finnish fliers.

Come on, you driftweed, and toss aside your load,
Here's the gate to spring again and here's the open road;
And never mind the rest of it the blossombordered thrills.

Ago of Punch
TIIIB seems to be the Age of the
Punch in sport. At least, ability
to "sock" Is the attribute of most of
the drawing cards who lure the crowds
out for inspection.
The biggest card in baseball is Babe
Ituth, the mightiest "socker" of all
time. The Babe hns the punch e.f a six
inch howitzer employing a double zero
charge.
Abo Mitchell, the British sensation
in golf, is the longest hitter in the
game one of those terrific wallopers
who can hammer the ball fiat when he
leans ncninst it.
"Walter Hagen. the United States
onen colt champion, is another crasher.
Ilngen's gnme has the punch, his power
being especially effective in iron play.
Gerald Patterson, the Australian ten
nis sensation, is another rugged hitter.
He. too, belongs to the six-foot, 200
pound class who have bulk to throw in
back of speed.
Tildcn, one of the leading tennis
players, i? n slashing hitter, nnd nny
one who thinks that Bill Johnston's
forehand doesn't enrry the punch is en
titled to sit down nnd do some more
thinking.
Dnve Ilrrron nnd Bobby Jones, lead
ing amateurs, are both crashers. ' And
no one has yet invented a hnrder punch
ing machine than Jnck Peinpsey.
It's the age of Blooie the Kpoeh of
Sock. Crash. Biff nnd Bang. The crowd
Is huptiug the noise of the wallop.
The Case of Kempton
KKMPTON, of Yale, was a great
prep school slar, one of the best in
the country. In his first reason ns a
Yale regular he slipped well below ex
pections. but this doesn't mean that
his career is doomed.
For Kempton still holds these
valunble requisites he has fine courage,
speed, determination und added experi
ence. It may be that IM!) was merely
on off-year. He is out hustling this
spring in April prnctice to prove that
1020 will be another matter. Ami it's
no part of n certainty that 1!20 won't
give him the elm nee to establish his
proof.
LAST season Alexander gave vent to
the best record in his league so far
as earned runs go. In the same way
Jess Barnes Von more hall games than
any other National League pitcher.
Yet in opening the 1020 rntupnign
both were mauled to pink pulps. The
Beds peeled large patches of hide off
Alex nnd the Braves hurried Barnes to
the cool April shower in a few cantox.
Which is merely proof that you enn't
tell much about it from the first game.

one could tell, us If he had been gettbi

you enn't make him believe that
he hasn't more on his bnt than am
pitcher has on the ball. The fact that
